A firm nock resounded on the Titans door, just a few hours after Elizabeth, Bruce and Robin had talked. There was a bit of a fight as Robin, Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beastboy, and even Elizabeth tried to answer the door. In the end it was Elizabeth with the help of Raven that opened the door and welcomed in the rather intimidating figure of Superman. The scuffle behind them immediately stopped and yielded four very embarrassed teenagers. Robin immediately stepped forward and welcomed Superman into the Tower and asked Raven and Elizabeth to show him a room. Briefly nodding Raven began to lead them to a room on the other side of the tower before Elizabeth stopped her.
"Ah Raven?"
"Yes Elizabeth?" Raven asked still gliding ahead of the group of three.
"Is there anyway Cl…I mean Superman can have a room next to mine or across from mine?" Elizabeth asked somewhat hesitantly. Raven turned to look at the girl and the hero and then just nodded and made a sharp turn down a close hallway. Elizabeth and Superman fallowed in a somewhat awkward silence. Raven could feel that there was something more to the relationship between the two then the others knew about, but she didn't say anything. Finally they reached the room directly across from the one that had been given to Elizabeth. Expertly Raven flew threw the code unlocking the room from its usual no use security and let Superman into it.
"I believe you know the lay out." Raven said in her usual monotonous tone. Superman gave a brief nod and pulled Elizabeth into the room.
"We'll be just fine, we just need to talk about a few things before we come down to the main room." he answered gruffly. Elizabeth nodded but looked a bit pale. Raven turned and smiled, things were going to be very interesting around the tower.
As soon as the door had slid shut Superman pulled Elizabeth into a big hug that was equally returned.
"What have you gotten yourself into now Lizabee? Hmm?" Superman asked using his term of affection for the girl. Big brown tear filled eyes looked up at him.
"I haven't done anything but someone's framed me and the police are after me and this Robin boy doesn't believe me and my grandmother even turned me in…." cried Elizabeth into the front of the hero's uniform. Superman just hugged the girl and let her cry, the stress finally going away.
"Alright now tell me who you think it is because I know you're already thinking about it." he said when she finally stopped.
"Dr. Emsly." she said sniffing a little and whipping at her somewhat puffy red eyes.
"Are you sure?" Superman asked now very serious. Dr.Emsly was not a person that they joked about considering the immense damage he could and had caused.
"They said that whoever it was at the bank walked in and used powers just like mine. He's the only one with the serum unless he sold it and I highly doubt he'd sell his greatest invention." whispered Elizabeth somewhat bitterly. They had sat down in the two chairs by the window and she now stared out over the bay and Jump City. It looked remarkably pretty compared to Gothem, but not as pretty as Metropolis. The sunlight sparkled on the waves and off in the distance children ran on the beaches.
"If its him, you're going to have to tell the Titans." whispered Superman placing a hand on her shoulder. Elizabeth nodded and looked back out over the water.
"I don't want to face him again." she sighed "Once was enough."
"I know but we all have to do things we don't like too." Superman said standing up "Including dealing with the Titans and their mediocre cooking."
Elizabeth snickered and fallowed Superman out of the room. They went to the main room to find Beastboy and Cyborg arguing over who was going to cook. Elizabeth stood there in awe of the two's stupidity before giving a brief glance to Superman and putting an end to the fight.
"Neither of you are cooking!" She shouted above the noise causing silence to fall immediately. All eyes turned to the girl as she continued.
"Superman and I are going to make dinner." she said matter of factly and with a somewhat hesitant smile. A firm hand on her shoulder guided her to the kitchen. The titans watched amazed as the older hero and Elizabeth worked seamlessly as a team preparing a meal from what was laying around. In twenty minutes the tables had been laid out with a roast turkey, a green salad, stuffing, and a large amount of mash potatoes. A small pot of tea and a pitcher of ice water completed the meal.
"DUDE!" said Beastboy "They have got to have done this before!"
"Mmmmhmmm." murmured the other Titans. All of them sat down to enjoy the meal when red lights flashed threw out the building.
"Darn it!" muttered Robin grabbing his com to see if it was anything that could be ignored. Unfortunately it wasn't, the Jump City Bank was being robbed.
"Jump City Bank!"
